Tokyo Ghost Diary

Downstairs in the apartment, the old housekeeper helped Hoshino open the back seat door of the Rolls-Royce and asked him to get in.

Hoshino Gen didn't show any pretense and stepped into the car.

Also in the back seat, Sasaki Ayane was at the other side of the car window, looking sideways at Gen Hoshino who got into the car.

"Good morning, Hoshino-san." Sasaki Ayane spoke first, but her expression and expression were still as cold and calm, and they did not change at all because of the change in the relationship between the two, just like when they were in the gym. A chance encounter is like two strangers who know each other's names but meet by chance.

Hoshino Gen returned a polite smile, and then leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery outside through the glass. The car slowly started, and for some reason, he subconsciously looked up at the apartment floor where Hoshino's family was located. His eyes followed the changes in light and shadow outside the window, creating strange ripples...

......

About thirty minutes later, the car stopped outside a manor owned by the Sasaki family in the suburbs of Koto District.

The old housekeeper led Hoshino Gen and Sasaki Ayane, who got out of the car, into the manor and walked all the way to the dojo behind the villa residential area.

As soon as Gen Hoshino walked to the closed door of the gym, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking wind. He turned his head almost subconsciously. In an instant, a strong wind blew across his face, followed by a crisp "dong" sound. Accompanied by the trembling of fine iron, it rippled behind him.

There was a hole in the gym door.

There seemed to be liquid rolling down his cheek. Gen Hoshino touched it gently with his hand, and sure enough, his hand was stained with blood. Looking back, he saw a knife with an almost sharp blade on a marble pillar outside the gym door. The whole thing is nailed into it.

The old housekeeper had quietly left the scene at some point. Gen Hoshino was calmly looking at the knife that had penetrated into the stone pillar, but Ayane Sasaki was a little stunned. She looked at the scars on Gen Hoshino's face, and then looked at the nail that had penetrated it. Shizhu's sword was completely in a state where he didn't understand the current situation.

But at this moment, the door of the gym that had just been closed suddenly opened. Hoshino Gen looked around. In the bright and spacious gym, an old man wearing a plain white sword-do uniform was carrying a gleaming sword, revealing his old man. With a naughty smile, he stared into Hoshino Gen's eyes: "The third child has really good eyesight. I can smell the smell of blood even from a distance. Come on, boy, let me try your strength."

Hoshino Gen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura became dangerous.

The old man, Shinichiro Sasaki, turned a blind eye. He looked at Gen Hoshino's still stunned granddaughter and laughed loudly: "Little Ayane, if you don't want to be fooled by the person next to you who will treat you like an idiot all day long, just... Watch well and study hard!”

After saying that, he drew his sword and slashed through the air. A white-trained air blade pressed the air, sending out a piercing scream and heading straight towards Hoshino Yuan.

Without any hesitation, dark red light surged, and the black and red demon sword appeared in the palm of Hoshino Gen's right hand in an instant. The blade was blocked in front of him. The next second, Bai Lian attacked.

The terrifying force quickly pushed aside the surrounding air, and the strong wind caused by the collision caused the nearby Ayane Sasaki's eyes to widen slightly, and her hair to fly with an incredible look in her eyes.

Hoshino Gen took a step back, but the white sword was still squeezing his living space. Even though there was a demon sword and Onikiri in between, the sharp breath still made Hoshino Gen feel the skin all over his body was tingling. .

And Hoshino Gen believed that if the demon sword in his hand had been replaced by an ordinary weapon, he might have been cut in half by the air blade at that moment.

Pouting his lips slightly, Hoshino Gen took advantage of the thrust from the front and jumped up in the air to flip, perfectly staggering the white drill. Then the harsh air blast gradually moved away, and wherever the air blade passed, the stone pillars also Well, big trees and even nearby houses were neatly cut in half. It wasn't until dozens of meters away that the Bailian Qi Blade floated into a gust of wind.

"Okay!" Shinichiro Sasaki said with a look of admiration on his face: "In today's world, there are no more than ten people in Japan who can stop the one who was killed just now. You are a person."

While speaking, Shinichiro Sasaki had already relaxed his posture. He sheathed his sword, and even the arm holding the sword was hanging down. Without waiting for Gen Hoshino's response, he smiled and looked at his granddaughter who was in the process of a shattered and reorganized world view. : "Little Ayane, have you learned how to use the sword?"

Sasaki Ayane's cold and pretty face was blank. She looked at her grandfather blankly. She didn't know why. She was taught kendo by her grandfather since she was a child, and her kendo level was indeed high. When she was in junior high school, she participated in the national competition as her grandfather asked. , and easily won the championship... But the problem is, no matter how superb her sword skills are, she can't create an air blade with one strike! ?

Isn't that something that only appears in fantasy works? Why does grandpa... no, not only grandpa, but also Hoshino-san, the knife in his hand seems to be made up of the convergence of light streams? What happened to this world?

Seeing the chaotic appearance of his granddaughter, who had been cold and indifferent since she was a child, and seemed to accept it calmly no matter what happened, Shinichiro Sasaki burst into laughter.

His loud laughter echoed in the gym, but it soon stopped abruptly. His cloudy eyes flashed brightly, and the sword was blocked back with its sheath. In an instant, a sound of gold and iron echoed around him.

He looked at Gen Hoshino, who had appeared beside him at some point, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at his cold eyes and the demonic sword slashing at his scabbard without mercy.

"Hey, old man, you don't think you can get away with killing someone by saying a few useless compliments afterwards, do you?" Hoshino Gen's left eye lit up with a scarlet glimmer, his expression slightly ferocious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled away and launched a side spin kick. In a hurry, Shinichiro Sasaki only had time to adjust the angle of the sheathed sword to block, and then his bony body slid back several meters.

At the entrance of the gym, Sasaki Ayane looked at Gen Hoshino in shock.

But after being silent for two seconds, Sasaki Shinichiro laughed even more heartily: "Okay, okay, the young man is formidable, his ability is strong enough, his temper is fierce enough, I like it! The third child is right, you are indeed younger than me It was very similar at that time.”

After saying this, he took the knife out of the scabbard again, and then threw aside the scabbard that had been chopped by Hoshino Gen. He grinned, raised the knife, and laughed at Hoshino Gen: "I'm still waiting. You will call me grandpa from now on, so..."

His body turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of Hoshino Yuan. He slashed at Hoshino Yuan's neck at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye: "Don't die, kid."
